Geopolitical groups play an important role in the functioning of the Inter-Parliamentary Union. Each group decides on its own working methods that best suit its participation in the activities of the Union and informs the Secretariat of its composition, the names of its officers, and its rules of procedure.
As stipulated in Article 25 of the Statutes of the Union, those Members that belong to more than one geopolitical group should inform the Secretary General which geopolitical Group they represent for the purposes of submitting candidatures for positions within the Union.
Click on the name of any of the following six geopolitical groups that are currently active in the IPU to see its respective composition and contact details:
Africa Arab groupAsia-PacificEurasiaLatin AmericaTwelve Plus
Please note that some IPU members are not affiliated to any of these geopolitical groups.
